KEEPER – GIVĒON
KEEPER Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Talkin’ through your mom again
Put this pride aside again
I don’t even know what time it is
Is it even worth a try? Tell me, and I
Couple things I can’t defend
I’m just tryna clean my hands of all that I’ve done
Goin’ green every time I sin, don’t it
This type of night, I need you right here
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s gettin’ hard for me to say
The thoughts of me in your apartment lingers
Gettin’ harder to replace you
Can’t forget the way that I remember
Ooh, the way your lips
Reminiscin’ about their tenderness
Whеn my days turn to night
I get to missin’ you, oh
[Chorus]
I’m tellin’ you, baby
I can’t be what I’m not, but you gon’ bе the one to chase me
I’m know that I’m enough but I’m just tryna be the one that you keep
Not just the one who comes back around and drives you crazy
I swear, back around again
[Break]
(Woo-woo-woo-woo) Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Most night have truth in it, break curfew like a kid
I dry my fingertips, every time I lift your chin
No, I ain’t trying to defend myself, all the times I was a man, ooh
The cryin’ breaks the wind, ooh, and this the night I need you here
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s gettin’ hard for me to say (Hard for me to say)
The thoughts of me in your apartment lingers
Gettin’ harder to replace you
Can’t forget the way that I remember
Ooh, the way your lips
Reminiscin’ about their tenderness
When my days turn to night
I get to missin’ you, oh
[Chorus]
I’m tellin’ you, baby
I can’t be what I’m not, but you gon’ be the one to chase me
I’m know that I’m enough but I’m just tryna be the one that you keep
Not just the one who comes back around and drives you crazy
I swear, back around again
[Outro]
(Back around, back around, back around) Oh
(Back around, back around, back around) Yeah, you hear me when I say, I just wanna be more
(Back around, back around, back around) Oh, oh, oh
(Back around, back around, back around) Oh
